Top 33 Pink Paint Colors to Light up your Room

I’ve seen pink work its magic in more rooms than I can count. Bedrooms feel calmer, nurseries feel warmer, and even kitchens get a fun, unexpected glow. What I love about pink is how many versions of it there are. Some are barely-there blushes, and some bring in coral or peachy energy. Each one can change the way a room feels without doing too much.

When I help clients pick the right shade, it’s always personal. Pink reminds some people of childhood, and for others, it just feels cozy or happy.

It’s not just for little girls’ rooms anymore—I’ve used pink in dining rooms, mudrooms, and even home offices. The key is choosing the right pink.

This year, I’ve seen a lot of interest in softer pinks with a touch of warmth. Sherwin-Williams has some of the best ones right now, but I also have my tried-and-true favorites from other brands.

Here are the ones I keep going back to.

Top 10 Pink Paint Colors (Non–Sherwin-Williams)

These come from Benjamin Moore and a few other brands. I’ve used them in real homes, real rooms, with real families. Some are light like cotton candy, others are deep and cozy. Here’s why each one made the list.

1. BM First Light 2102-70 (Benjamin Moore)

This was Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year a few years ago, and honestly, it still feels fresh. It’s clean, soft, and not too sweet — just modern and gentle. I’ve used it in entryways, and it makes a quiet first impression.

“We selected First Light as our Color of the Year to reflect a new definition of the home – one of comfort, security, optimism and joy.” – Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore

Delicate and barely-there. I love using this when someone says “I want white walls but interesting.” It’s perfect for Scandinavian-style interiors.

3. BM Bashful 1171

A classic blush tone. Not too trendy, which is great if you want a pink that won’t feel dated in a year or two.

Yes, it’s as soft and sweet as it sounds. I used this in a home office, and paired it with pale oak shelves — calming, but not boring.

Slightly cool, a little vintage. It has that old-Hollywood-powder-room vibe. Great with chrome or silver accents.

Leans peach, and works beautifully in warmer lighting. It flatters skin tones too — try it in a bathroom or dressing area.

A Quick Note Before You Choose

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working in so many homes, it’s this: pink isn’t just a color — it’s a feeling. It can make a room feel soft, happy, hopeful, calm, or bold. And no, it’s not just for little girls’ rooms.

When picking the right pink, here’s what I tell my clients:

• Test in different light. Morning and evening light change everything. Always try samples first.
• Pay attention to undertones. Some pinks lean peachy, others go blue or even gray.
• Don’t be afraid to go bolder. Sometimes, a stronger pink actually balances better with furniture and finishes.

According to Statista, the market for interior paint is growing every year, and soft shades like blush and rose are consistently ranking in the top trending colors worldwide (source). That tells me one thing: people are craving comfort. And pink delivers that.

So whether it’s a whisper or a statement, there’s a pink out there that can make your home feel more you.

What I Always Tell My Clients About Pink

Choosing paint feels like a small thing — until you’re standing in front of 100 shades of pink wondering what’s too much and what’s not enough. I’ve been there with so many families, couples, and even first-time homeowners. And here’s the truth

Pink is personal.

It can feel comforting, playful, modern, vintage, or just plain happy. Some of us need softness. Some of us need a little brightness. And pink gives you both, depending on the one you choose.

If you’re still unsure where to start:

• Go lighter than you think if it’s a whole room. It always looks deeper once it’s on four walls.
• Accent walls are your friend. Want to test a bold pink? Try it behind the bed or in a powder room.
• Don’t skip the sample swatches. Always paint a little patch on your wall and check it during different times of day.

And if all else fails?

Pick the one that makes you smile. That’s the color that belongs in your home.
